Polish, Russian or German? From what decade?It's always been at the back of my mind,'Why is the title of this old Polish film in German?'

as kiddo said this is a topic nobody has discussed much, i didn't even notice that the title is in German.

i don't see this man to be Piotrek's father. i feel like there's a reference in past lives in the film. that's how i see it. explains the unpaid bill which is not something you remember.
